Cannot Import Favorites from Windows ME to XP

On my ME machine, I exported my Favorites and e-mailed them to myself. Then
on my XP machine, I received the e-mail, saved the file, and tried to import
Favorites. But I got an error message saying it was not a valid bookmark
file. Can anyone offer help on this?

I must say I'm not happy with XP so far. Some of my favorite software from
ME will not run on XP.

Did you try to import them into IE? I don't think IE uses "bookmark"
terminology, but I could be mistaken.

As G. Morgan alluded, "bookmark" isn't an IE term.
Netscape Navigator uses "bookmark" instead of "favorites."
Are you certain you're using Internet Explorer on the WinME system?
I am guessing that you are not.
